Ingredients

  • 375 g of lemon curd

  • 105 ml of liquid cream

  • 105 g of Greek yogurt

  • 3 tsp.’vanilla extract

  • 1 pinch of salt

  • 60 g of meringue

Directions

  • Prepare the lemon base
    Pour the lemon curd and cream into a large bowl. Mix gently with a whisk or maryse until the texture becomes smooth and homogenous. This step softens the lemon curd so that it blends easily with the other ingredients.
  • Add creamy ingredients
    Add the Greek yoghurt, vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously to obtain a smooth, lump-free mixture. The Greek yoghurt adds a slight acidity reminiscent of lemon tart, while enhancing the creaminess.
  • Freezes the preparation
    Pour the mixture into the bowl of your Ninja Creami Deluxe. Smooth the surface with a spatula to ensure even freezing. Place the bowl flat in the freezer and leave to rest. 24 full hours.
  • Turns to ice
    The next day, place your frozen bowl in the Ninja Creami. Start the program Ice Cream The machine will transform your base into a creamy ice cream in just a few minutes.
  • Adjust texture as needed
    Once the cycle is complete, check the texture. If it's a little too firm, add about 3 to 4 tablespoons of very cold milk on top and repeat the cycle. Re-spin. This makes for an even smoother ice cream.
  • Incorporate the meringue
    Break your meringue into irregular pieces (neither too big nor too small) and add them to the bowl. Then select the Mix-in or Extra Mix-in so that the machine distributes the pieces throughout the ice cream, without crumbling them completely.
  • Tasting
    Your lemon meringue pie ice cream is ready! You can serve it as is, or decorate with fresh lemon zest, extra meringue crumbs or even a drizzle of lemon curd to bring out the pastry side.

Notes

  • You can adjust the lemony intensity by adding a little more lemon curd if you want a tangier flavor, or increase the amount of Greek yogurt to soften the taste.
  • If you'd like even more of a classic lemon tart, add a few speculoos or butter cookie crumbs to the glaze for a “shortbread” effect.
  • Last but not least, don't hesitate to prepare a little crunchy homemade meringue: it will provide the perfect contrast to the creaminess of the ice cream.
